With reference to the Marx Seminars at the University of São Paulo, this chapter discusses the creation of a specific tradition in the social sciences that marks a crucial moment in the history of postcolonial and decolonial studies. By means of the concept of periphery, I reconstruct how this tradition refuted temporal and stadial dualisms. Moreover, I argue that the development of this new perspective in the social sciences must be understood in terms of its efforts to rethink Marx but also, and more importantly, by the need to rethink Brazil's place in the world. Following this thread, I analyse Roberto Schwarz's work as paradigmatic for a proper understanding of the centrality of the concept of periphery in these discussions.
Rilke in Salvador, Brasilien

Im Jahr 1990 wurde in Salvador, Bahia, die Iniciativa Cultural Austro-Brasileira (ICAB) gegründet, eine Plattform für Vermittlung und Austausch österreichischer Kultur in Brasilien. [...] In allen folgenden Literaturveranstaltungen der ICAB (unter anderem zu Trakl, Schnitzler und Hofmannsthal) war Rilke ein fester Bestandteil, in Auszügen aus seiner Korrespondenz, in Lesungen und Zitaten.
